Draco

 

Draco was a Greek lawmaker who introduced the first written code of law in ancient Greece. Draco’s code included very severe laws. Under his system of law, almost all crimes called for the death penalty, even very minor offences. His laws were unpopular and most of them were rewritten by his successor, Solon.
